Massimiliano Allegri spoke ahead of the upcoming friendly match against Perth Glory, as reported by Gazzetta.it:
"I’m proud to be here in Perth, a beautiful city I had never visited before. I can’t wait to explore it, to experience a new culture, and to feel the affection of our fans here in Western Australia. This match will conclude our tour and the pre-season preparation period. We’ll be playing in a beautiful stadium against a team that has achieved good results. I expect progress both in terms of physical condition and technical play."
Regarding Milan’s objectives for the season, Allegri explained:
"I’ve returned to Milan after 15 years and I’m happy to be here. This will be an important season for us, and we want to get back into the Champions League. Milan is one of the most important clubs in the world and it must play in the Champions League. When you wear this shirt, you feel the responsibility of representing a historic club and you always have to give your all. Rest is good, but I was eager to coach again. I chose Milan because I love this team and I couldn’t say no. I do this job with passion and dedication, and I’m convinced that together we’ll reach the goals we’ve set."
